Comforting Monday

Instead of always buying energy bars or breakfast bars I thought we could try a couple different recipes and see if we can make something good to replace them. The first I tried today was called Multigran fruit bars. Its packed with fresh blueberries, dried cranberries, brown sugar and Kashi puffed cereal. I was also able to use the food processor so that was another plus. Baked in a 9x13 the batter going in was pretty thin but they still rose up nice! They are more "cake-like" which is a refreshing change as they are pretty light. Very tasty and perfect for hiking or just snacking!

I was in the mood for comfort food tonight so dinner was Individual mini meat-loaves, mashed potatoes and grilled fresh sweet corn on the cob. It went pretty well together and really had that down home feeling. The meat-loaves were very juicy and the corn was delish! Its been too long since we've had fresh corn.
